Is Treatment for Varicose Veins Covered by my Insurance?

Generally, the answer to the question of whether your insurance company will pay for varicose vein treatment is yes!

Varicose veins are considered a medical condition in those who are symptomatic and who are diagnosed with venous insufficiency. Health insurance companies, AHCCCS, and Medicare will cover the costs of treatment if you are experiencing these symptoms:

Leg Pain

Swelling in the Legs and Feet

Feeling of Heaviness in the Legs

Burning and Tenderness in the Legs

Impaired Blood Flow

You should note that insurance companies typically require that patients try more conservative varicose vein management techniques for a time before they will approve the various varicose vein ablation procedures. Compression stockings are usually the favored treatment in this case, and Dr. Rose can prescribe these if you require them.

Sonja B., Advanced Vein Patient

"Don't put off these treatments for your legs. I am very pleased that The Pain has been removed from both my legs, due to the treatments I received from Advanced Vein Institute of Arizona.

The outstanding attention given by the caring staff and Ms Rose helped me recover from extreme pain in both my legs. It took just a few days to recover from my treatments and if I had questions I was allowed to call Ms. Rose, for quick answers.

THANKS to all the Staff at Advanced Vein Institute for the loving care!"

Emilie F. Advanced Vein Institute Patient

I'm 31 and I've had a ugly vein behind my right knee for years. This year was the very first time I was experiencing pain from it and decided to take care of it. I made very small researches as I was very scared of the procedure.

I found that institute online and requested an appointment online. Shortly, I got a call to confirm the appointment and was able to fill all the paperwork online and send my infos via email, very convenient since I run my own business and work crazy hours.

The first appointment, I got an ultrasound to locate the veins that needed to be treated. As I was very nervous, Karlea explained to me the process and was very nice and comforting. I met right after the doctor Jilianne Rose who gave me more details about the laser procedure and I decided to just go for it so I can finally get relief.

After insurance approval, I scheduled both legs two days in row. I was terrified about needles and laser and all these scary words. During the procedure, all three women around me, Jilianne, Karlea and Lucy were comforting, nice, explaining and everybody made sure I wasn't in pain.

It was the first time I was so comfortable during a medical-surgical procedure. At the end of the first leg procedure, doctor Jillianne handed me a business card with her personal cell phone number in the back, and told me to contact her if I had any question, concern or pain. I have never experienced such a close relationship with a doctor before. I felt confident as she was taking such good care of me.I will recommend this place anytime, to anyone who needs such a procedure.

As of today, after one month, the relief is undeniable. My legs are not sore the way they used to be after a long shift at work. I am so glad I did it at the Advanced Vein institute.

Spider Vein Treatment Cost
Starting at $250

What is the cost of sclerotherapy? Very simple, Sclerotherapy costs start at $250 per leg. Touch-up or follow-up is $100.

Sclerotherapy is a very popular procedure used to treat deficient blood vessels. Medicine is injected, using a very small gauge needle, into the veins that act as an irritant of the inner vein walls, causing closure of the treated spider vein. Most patients require multiple sessions, however, the number of treatments is based on your specific condition.

Over time, the appearance of spider veins fade from sight, leaving you with clearer, healthy looking legs. Your spider vein specialist is able to treat more than one vein at the same time.

Together we’ll get you to love your legs!

Pigmented Lesions Laser Treatment

Our state-of-the-art Pulsed Dye Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) delivers an intense but gentle burst of light into selectively targeted areas of the skin. The light is absorbed by specific blood vessels or melanin pigmented areas in the dermis depending on the condition being treated. Factors such as the age, color and type of lesions, as well as the location on the body, all determine whether lesions can be removed. The Harmony DYE VL we utilize will help fade vascular lesions to look like normal skin.

Port Wine Stains Laser Treatment

Geneticists recently identified the genetic marker that causes port wine stains, or birthmarks. Occurring in about 3 out of every 1,000 births, port wine stains are enlarged capillaries that produce purplish-red stains on the skin. Rarely causing an health issues, port wine stains occasionally grow thicker or bumpy over time. Laser treatments are now a routine procedure for the removal of many types of vascular lesions, including hemangiomas, vascular malformations such as port-wine stains, telangiectasias, venous lakes and angiomas. Multiple treatments are required for optimal results. On average, most patients with port wine stains need at least 12 treatments, some need 18, and we’ve treated many patients with more than 25 treatments. It is rare to completely clear the stain.

What to expect after laser vein treatment

Some redness, slight swelling may be present in the area that has been treated, however this should subside within a few hours. Bruising may also occur.
You will be given instructions on post treatment care, including keeping the treated area clean, using at least an SPF 15 sunscreen when you go outdoors.

Face Veins Laser Treatment

Occasionally, spider veins will appear on the face, called Facial Telangiectasia. These are small, red or purple blood vessels that can be caused by a number of skin conditions, including sun damage, heredity, rosacea, hot and spicy food, exercise or emotions. Our new laser penetrates deep down and is absorbed by the cells in the vessel wall and the blood causing coagulation and seals off the blood flow. The vessel walls then collapse and eventually dissolve.

Vascular Lesion Laser Treatment

Varicose and spider veins are blood vessels that become enlarged and visible due to weakened valves, which cause blood to pool rather than flow to the heart. Our new vascular treatments offer effective, non-invasive solutions that close these veins and reduce or even eliminate their appearance. A variety of technologies are used to target the affected blood vessels beneath the skin, leaving you with smooth, clear skin and renewed confidence. The treatments are safe and effective and provide reliable, long term results.

Laser vein treatment

Laser treatment to eradicate spider veins and small varicose veins with a unique wavelength of light is now possible. This non-invasive laser vein treatment utilizes a long pulse of light laser energy to destroy the defective vein altogether. The wave energy targets the area under the skin’s surface so that the top layer of skin is left completely intact and untouched. The vein absorbs the laser energy and then immediately collapses, with an immediate visible washing out of the vessel.

Advanced fluorescence technology (AFT) and cutting-edge laser technology make it possible to reduce and even eliminate your problematic veins, sometimes in just one sitting. Depending on the severity of your case, Dr. Rose may recommend up to three sessions, but the results are immediate and long-lasting. Fight the signs of aging the easy way and eliminate ugly or painful varicose or spider vein abnormalities with the most effective laser treatment. Our laser vein treatment is safe for all skin types, pain-free, and non-invasive with virtually no side-effects!
